Dear Alice
Advice from an Irish Mother
Dear Alice,
I’m 50 years old and newly divorced. My co-worker is constantly making comments about taking care of me and taking me out for a good time, but my gut tells me that all he really wants is sex. Am I being uptight or overly judgmental? Isabelle, London, Ontario, Canada.
Dear Isabelle,
You’re in your fifties. You’re old enough to take care of yourself. There is no need to let anyone take advantage of you. If you don’t feel attracted to someone, or if you feel pressure, give yourself time and protection. And, try not to go out and get sloppy drunk. You could trip up and fall on the wrong penis.
